Teriyaki Green Beans

January 19, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Teriyaki Green Beans have all the flavor of your favorite take-out food, but you get to control the amount of sugar and salt that goes in.

Most people look at me like I have three heads when I tell them I don’t eat Chinese food. It’s not that I don’t enjoy it; I too am a sucker for savory/sweet foods swimming in sauce. And fried rice. And noodles. What I really mean when I say that I don’t eat Chinese food is that I don’t eat it at restaurants.…

Roasted Winter Squash Salad with Spiced Walnuts, Red Currants, and Pomegranate Balsamic Vinaigrette

November 17, 2017 by Faith 1 Comment

Roasted Winter Squash Salad with Spiced Walnuts, Red Currants, and Pomegranate Balsamic Vinaigrette is a beautiful way to highlight the earthy, sweet, and subtly nutty flavor of roasted squash. Last but certainly not least when it comes to my holiday meal for four is this salad recipe I’m sharing. It’s quite a simple salad, but there’s something about winter squash in general and delicata squash in particular that always wins my vote....

Vanilla Bean and Maple Toasted Pecan Marshmallows {Paleo}

November 13, 2017 by Faith Leave a Comment

Vanilla Bean and Maple Toasted Pecan Marshmallows {Paleo} are a fun and festive treat to have on hand during the holidays or any time a sweet tooth strikes. I’m about to tell you something that I hope doesn’t change your opinion of me: I’ve never been a huge fan of marshmallows (gasp!). I wouldn’t by choice top my hot cocoa with marshmallow instead of whipped cream. I’ve always hated those yellow peeps things at Easter. And when s’mores time rolls around I’m always happiest roasting a marshmallow or two for someone else and just snagging a little piece of chocolate for myself....

Nutty Spiced Pumpkin Crackers {Paleo}

October 23, 2017 by Faith 5 Comments

Nutty Spiced Pumpkin Crackers {Paleo} are a nutrient-dense snack that taste similar to a healthy version of graham crackers. The thing about afternoons in autumn is that they go so well with a warm beverage. And the thing about a steaming cup of tea or coffee is that it’s made even nicer by something to munch on with it....

Cranberry Pumpkin Pie Spice Seed and Nut Bars {Paleo}

October 16, 2017 by Faith Leave a Comment

Cranberry Pumpkin Pie Spice Seed and Nut Bars {Paleo} feature the winning flavor combination of nuts, honey, and warm spices in a festive treat. Every autumn there comes a time when I can’t hold out any longer. I reluctantly give in, and then wonder why the heck I waited so long. And then it’s no holds barred, and pumpkin spice everything for me....

Date and Walnut Paleo Crispbread and 3 Brie Topping Ideas

July 3, 2017 by Faith 4 Comments

Date and Walnut Paleo Crispbread is a fantastic base for crafting flavor profiles with Marin French Cheese and unique homemade toppings. There are certain times in our lives when we don’t realize it in the moment, but later we understand how significant it was. We always know when we’re having a first time experience, but if we knew the last time was actually the last time for a lot of things, I wonder how much different would it be....

June 23, 2017 by Faith 2 Comments

Thank you to Harvest Stone® for sponsoring this post; their USDA organic, certified gluten-free, and non-GMO crackers are a delicious pairing with this Caponata recipe. All opinions stated are my own. Caponata is a delicious sweet and sour Sicilian Eggplant Relish that’s perfect food for any summer gathering. There are so many gatherings that happen in the summer…Independence Day is right around the corner and the next two months will be full of block parties, pool parties, BBQs, picnics, and camping trips before Labor Day rolls around. There’s almost always something going on; a cause to celebrate or a reason to get together. Which means […]...

Low and Slow Strawberry-Balsamic Pulled Chicken {Paleo}

May 17, 2017 by Faith Leave a Comment

Low and Slow Strawberry-Balsamic Pulled Chicken {Paleo} is a unique twist on classic pulled BBQ chicken; it’s the perfect dish to bring to a spring or summer potluck! When I go strawberry picking, I just can’t help it; it’s like some kind of primal instinct takes over and I suddenly want to pick all the berries. It’s like I’m on the hunt for food and the lives of my tribe members depend on it, lol. (Is anyone else the same way?)...

Paleo Strawberry Shortcake for One

March 27, 2017 by Faith 4 Comments

Paleo Strawberry Shortcake for One is perfect for those spring or summer nights when you want a little treat just for you. I’m not going to lie; as a kid I really disliked strawberry shortcake. It was the soggy cake that deterred me, not to mention the fact that I really didn’t care much for whipped cream either. (Such an odd child, lol!) Since then I’ve seen the error of my ways, at least in terms of whipped cream bliss....

Sweet and Sour Green Cabbage and Apple Sauté {Paleo; Whole30}

March 17, 2017 by Faith Leave a Comment

This paleo and Whole30-friendly Sweet and Sour Green Cabbage and Apple Sauté pairs well as a side dish with just about anything. To me, other than a shamrock-wielding leprechaun sitting next to a pot of gold under a rainbow, few things in life say Happy St. Paddy’s Day more than cabbage....
